complete placenta previa - SUCCESS!!

I just wanted to share my success story for you all... At list until this point.I was diagnosed with Complete Previa when I was 17 weeks 5 days. I have had 3 large bleeds with clots. All required hospitalization. I started bleeding again the other night so went straight to labour and delivery.... Was admitted for the night and spent all day yesterday there as well. After another ultrasound turns out my previa is gone. I'm still bleeding and they don't have any clue why. I was sent home as the blood is now dark and it's not as heavy as it was. I'll see my OB next week and see what she thinks, but looks as though my complete previa is now gone!! I was told I basically had no chance of this happening. Will keep you all posted. Has this happened to anyone else? We're you having large bleeds like myself?

This sounds like my story. I had placenta previa, bled & was hospitalised 4 times, then it moved. I bled another 4 times (had scans etc) and the 5th time had to call an ambulance as it was so heavy. I lost 2 litres of blood & had an emergency c.section that day, at 35wks. Luckily I'd had steroids so my baby was ok but it wasn't until after they'd delivered the placenta that they saw a rip in it. That's where the bleeding was coming from. Be really careful. Any bleeding at all get yourself back to hosp. Really good luck. BTW my son, Raphael, is 12wks today and doing so well :D

Oh wow. So they couldn't figure out why you were still bleeding?? That's terrible and a fear of mine. I'm still bleeding now... Did you have an anterior placenta? I do... I heard its harder to see... That's what the nurse told me yesterday.Congrats on your beautiful baby. 2 liters is scary.... Did you receive a transfusion?? I lost a liter my last bleed and was "this" close , but it stopped. I've now had problems with low blood pressure... Since that bleed. Again, thanks for sharing and huuuuge congrats :)

@ellemar, I have a question regarding your previa. Why did u think it was gone and then it returned? Was it always there and you were misinformed about it moving? I ask because my MFM (who my reg ob referred me to) diagnosed me with previa at 18w. Yesterday at 20w my regular OB did another transvag ultrasound and said my MFM doc was wrong. He said the placenta is anterior and I DO NOT have previa at all. Not even partial, while the MFM said I have COMPLETE. He said that it was very awkward because he and the MFM are friends and that he is a good high risk dr, but in my case, I was misdiagnosed. I go back for a follow up with my MFM in 1.5 weeks. I'm just so confused right now!

Blessed mama - I was in the hospital two weeks ago for my 3rd big bleed. I was in labour and delivery. They had an u/s done but only did a pelvic and labial. My OB gave me strict instructions not to let anyone do transvaginal unless they are an OB. Anyways, was still lightly bleeding but sent home as they said previa was gone. I was super happy.... Bleeding continued for a week. My OB sent me for an MFM scan and was told previa still there and very obviously it's complete. He explained it was only visible via transvaginal. I told him hospital said it was gone and he said no but that it made sense as he couldn't see it when it was a pelvic scan either. Was only caught on the transvaginal. My ON reviewed the findings and concurred. I go back on Jan 2nd for another follow up with MFM. Perhaps another scan will make you feel better?? Good luck!! Oh Andy OB at the MFM clinic said I will definitely have more bleeding as he can see that it's right over my cervix, and I'm a "bleeder". He was just very honest and preparing me for more bleeds....

Sorry as I'm typing from my iPhone.... I'm not sure if I was clear, sorry. The previa was always there. Was misinformed that it had moved... They couldn't see it all with a labial or pelvic u/s. confirmed its still there and that's the reason for my bleeding.

Bleeding did stop very quickly. I just have to pray it doesn't return now or when I go home. If I bleed again (after going home) then I come back to the hospital for good. Prayers that doesn't happen. Tough stuff : (. Missing my toddler the most. This is my first night away from her.

Awe...I'm glad the bleeding stopped for you. Lots of rest!!! My last bleed the nurses said to lie on my left side as it could help slow things down.... Seemed to work, or else it just slowed on its own. I bled for 7 days just make sure it doesn't get heavier. Thinking of you :)

Got home from the hospital this morning. Looks like I can be home for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Was able to take my dd to see Santa today : ). Praying for no more bleeding. They have pretty much said that if I bleed again I won't leave the hospital. I am 31 weeks today. If I get to 32 weeks that is a big milestone for baby. After that 34 is huge. Each day and week is crucial.
